I have this toy. Its actually still in the box with the manuals. (the toy is used though) but still in pretty good shape. the box has a 5 by 5 hold eaten out of it though (don’t ask….)

Is anyone interested in buying it?

Brian,
Wow! Thanks for the excellent reply to Ian’s question. I sometimes get bogged down with daily life and am not always able to quickly reply to questions. I was getting ready to reply to this one when I saw your response. I couldn’t have said it any better. Seeing readers helping readers really put a smile on my face this morning. Thanks!

Andre

I stumbled across this thread looking for solutions for some of my own issues. I read your posts, and I think I can help.

First of all, what Mac OS X is on your computer? From what it looks like, it appears that you have a version of Mac OS that is something like Mac OS X 10.4.xx, where the Xs signify what update of 10.4 you are running. If your computer came with OS X 10.4, that means you can upgrade to ANY update within 10.4, meaning you can update to 10.4.1, 10.4.2, 10.4.3….10.4.8…10.4.11 all COMPLETELY FREE. Now, since the iTunes thing said you had to update to 10.4.8, it is likely that you had something between 10.4.1 and 10.4.7, which means you can update for FREE to 10.4.8, like I previously mentioned. To do this, what you will need to do (and you should do this very often!!) is go to the apple button on the top left of the screen, click, and then hit software update. This will then search all of your programs, including all other applications, for FREE updates to your pre-existing software. It is April 28, 2008 right now, and to my knowledge, there are updates all the way to 10.4.11 available, so it is likely that you will have to update A LOT. so, I recommend updating EVERYTHING and then doing your ipod stuff.

To clear up more confusion, please keep the following straight. All OS X 10.4.xx is considered “OS X Tiger.” So you can update all through OS X Tiger for free. However, the new operating system is Leopard, which is 10.5, not 10.4. Since this is a completely new operating system and NOT an update, you have to pay $100 to upgrade it to the new OS. That is why the person said you had to pay 100 dollars to upgrade because you probably asked for an upgrade to Leopard and not to 10.4.8. So, keep in mind, you can update your pre-existing OS X 10.4.xx TIGER for free by going to software update after clicking on the apple button. But if you want to upGRADE (not upDATE) to Leopard, you have to pay because you would then be installing a completely new operating system, not updating your existing one.

But, keep in mind that your iTunes thing in order to support the iPod is NOT asking you to upgrade!!! It is only asking you to update, which means all you have to do is go to software update under the apple key and upgrade everything for FREE. After doing that, everything should work just fine.

Do all of this, and if it doesn’t work, then leave another post and I’ll help you out more personally. Macs ARE plug and go; they are VERY VERY efficient and easy to use and have few problems. Your problems are not arising because of Macs, but they are arising because you are not familiar enough with them to know exactly what you’re doing quite yet. Let me know.

Hi Steve,

thanks for the response to my IPOD issue with th eMac. You wrote, “I am confused. Why is upgrading to OS 10.4.8 and issue for you. It’s a free upgrade and works well with an eMac. I had version 10.4.9 installed on my eMac before upgrading it to Leopard.”

I do not know where to go for this upgrade. When I called Apple to complain, they wanted me to purchase an upgrade for approx $100.00. If you have time could you send me a link for the free upgrade to Leopard?

Thank you,
Andre

Thanks. Great tip, I just installed Leopard on eMac 700MHz for my son and everything was fine. Just one thing: yesterday I tried install Leo using the intel Macbook Pro and it was not good idea. There is o problem with partition of HD - Intel has GUID Partition Table and PowerPC should has Apple partition map.
So I install Leo and after eMac do nothing. When I try to start Intel macbook from eMac HD, Leopard starts
So I pick up iMac G5, install again and everything is ok. The advice: you should use computer with PowerPC procesor, maybe some geek knows how to use intel, but I had problems.
